Manfred Kleber
Manfred Kleber (born March 19, 1942 ) is a German theoretical physicist.
Kleber received his doctorate from the Technical University of Munich in 1969 and was then a research assistant there. In 1972/73 he was a post-doctoral student at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley University. In 1977 he became Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Cologne and from 1980 until his retirement in 2007 he was Associate Professor at the Technical University of Munich and has been an Emeriti of Excellence at TUM since then .
He was visiting scholar at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque, the Weizmann Institute, and Texas A&M University .
Kleber initially dealt with theoretical nuclear physics, including many-particle theory in nuclei. After his stay in Berkeley, he switched to theoretical problems with heavy ion collisions, for example the calculation of the electron-positron pair generation that occurs and atomic-physical problems that occur in heavy ion accelerator experiments. In particular, he conducted research on the dynamics of quantum mechanical tunneling (tunneling time, realistic tunnels in three dimensions, using the scanning tunneling microscope ). He also dealt with the interaction of atoms with strong electromagnetic fields, as they have been experimentally realized with femtosecond laser pulses, and with interference of matter waves in external fields. In addition to his research, he has also been heavily involved in teacher education and training.
In 2006 he received the Willis E. Lamb Prize for contributions to understanding tunneling time and quantum interference in the presence of external fields.
